Troubleshooting

The plasma TV panel is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however, sometimes some parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots. This is not a malfunction.

Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the Plasma TV.

Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, and Teletext.

Note:

The permanent after-image on the Plasma TV resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by the Warranty.

This product is not designed to display fixed images for extended periods of time.

DTV signal jumps from 0 to

100 and back.

•The signal is too weak to display a picture. Try to re-orient the antenna to a suitable direction and auto-tune again.

No closed captioning seen when the TV is connected to a set top box.

•Press the CC button on the remote controller to switch off the closed captioning. Then switch it on again.
